Often our Protestant friends, out of a pious desire to see God’s honor upheld, object to the idea that the Blessed Virgin Mary is called ‘Omnipotent by grace’ by St.
"However, the scope of the things they are praying for seems to be different than the Blessed Virgin Mary’s (in our tradition she is called the Mediatrix of *all* graces, see my video on her unique role in redemption here) insofar as she prays for every single grace we receive before we receive them, whereas other saints seem to only pray for specific graces that we receive (this part is not taught anywhere explicitly to my knowledge, but is my conclusion)."
This would seem to indicate the saints mediate upon those matters particular to them. Would that mean that they do not think of other things or that somehow, they are now constituted by that as a worker's labor might be said to be of them? For example, could a clock smith think of themself doing any other kind of work?
I’m not sure of the mechanics here, but all I need for this article is the basic claim that they aren’t praying for each grace a Christian receives. Presumably we can infer that they don’t know about each grace which explains why they don’t pray for it in specific. Really interesting question though!
